Bell & Ross BR-03 Chrono Blue Steel gives the aviation chronograph a brighter finish

The BR-03 Chrono Blue Steel moves the instrument-inspired chronograph away from an all-black finish. Its blue dial sits within a polished and satin-finished steel square, with applied metal numerals and luminous skeletonised hands. A matching blue calfskin strap gives the reference a more formal character than the rubber-strapped ceramic models.

Automatic calibre BR-CAL.301 provides central chronograph seconds, a 30-minute counter at nine, small seconds at three and a date display. A tachymeter scale runs around the flange. The case measures 42mm wide and uses anti-reflective sapphire, with 100-metre water resistance. An additional black synthetic-canvas strap is included.
